We have been coming to the royal cancun, formally VCI for years as my in laws have had a time share since it opened. I did experience some of its greatness before all inclusive resorts. It still has a beautiful landscape although like the rest of cancun it is a little tired. We are a family of three, two adults and a child. What was once a family spot is more of a retirement place of relaxation or large family gathering. I think it can be a fun spot for large families or persons that have been traveling here for years and relax in familiar surroundings. To get any kind of value you need to have 6 to 8 people and cook. I love these kind of vacations but I call them camping trps.For us the place was challenging. They didn't offer any of the posted children's activities. We would show up and they would be canceled. My daughter never complained, even when a piñata was brought out, then packed away because she was the only child. The beach is tranquil but without any action. We rented a car and went away snorkeling, fishing, surfing, etc. we did not hang out at the resort like we do at all inclusives. The food s the same as 12 years ago...It is expensive compared to all inclusive resorts. There is NO wifi. We have a week signal that kicks us out every 2 to 3 minutes.In short. Feel bad for the people that purchased Orlando motel accommodations and send your money elsewhere. We wont be back. The service fee, similar to condo fees, but at gangster prices are more then a persons holiday at an all inclusive.

Room Tip: Try an iberostar if you have small children.

We've been to several resorts and hotels in the Caribbean as well as the US and keep going back to the Royal Cancun (Club International) as, over the 15 years we've gone there, they've consistently provided the best hospitality, service and accomodations. The facility is in top condition despite being the 1st time share in Cancun, the location is heavenly, facing Isla Mujeres, we enjoy seeing the "pirate ships" pass by our "front door" in the evening as well as the boats entering and leaving the Embarquedero nearby. Another benefit: it's close to all the culture and fun downtown including Parque de las Palapas in el centro, where there's something genuinely Mexican going on practically every night. Best restaurants in el Centro: "La Parilla", "Rolandi's", "La Habichuela", "La Dolce Vita"... Take the Ultramar ferry to Isla Mujeres and rent a scooter or golfcart for the day. See the sculpture and cliffs at Punta Sur, have lunch at "Playa Lancheros" and head back north to "Playa Norte" to relax on one of the prettiest beaches in the area.This year we opted for the tour of "Ria Lagartos, ek Balam and Valladolid" through the onsite Travel Agent, Thomas More, and had the time of our life getting away from the hordes invading Chichen Itza or Tulum. Our tour guide, Mauricio was a true gem, the flamingos on the Gulf of Mexico gorgeous and the buffet and colonial charm of Valladolid fantastic!

Room Tip: Rooms facing the bay, pools & gardens are desirable

Everything was perfect. We had a beach front B unit. The resort is small and very clean.The beach is not as well as in front of the Royal sands but the good thing is that, by bus (it works very well and very fast) in 15 minutes you can enjoy the swimming pools and beaches of the other sister resorts and come back in your quiet resort after!You can enjoy the sailing and the tennis court.The restaurant is quiet and you can eat on the beach. The food is good.In summary, it is a nice, clean and quiet resort.

Room Tip: we rent a car for 1 day to visit Akumal and Tulum.

After staying here in 2010, I purchased a "C" unit....2 story, 2 bed & 2 bath! Although this resort is the oldest, it is more quiet and laid back, which is exactly what I was looking for! Don't get me wrong...you can still enjoy yourself...but if you REALLY want to party...go to one of the "other" associated resorts!

Prices at the restaurant are a little high, but the food is very good and the location is very convenient!

Security is very good and the cleanliness is top-notch!! ENJOY!!

Tropical setting with beach front B unit, friendly staff, homey feeling, near all things to do, on the bay, great for boating of every kind, best massage i had at any Royal Resort. No pressure concierge and host; the resort sells itself.

Room Tip: Beach front.

My great experience started when I began researching Cancun for my family vacation. I contacted Royal Resorts inquiring about the Royal Sands. I was so lucky to have had the pleasure to work with Sigfried. After listening to my vacation needs he suggested that I try The Royal Cancun hotel out of all of their family of resorts. He proved to be amazing even up to 3 days before arriving.

The hotel is beautiful it is small but perfect for what we wanted. The staff was great and they accomodated our request to have my Brother and his family's room close to us.

The hotel was immaculately maintained. Our room faced the pool bar and restaurant and every morning you would shee the hotel staff working on the landscape and scrubbing the pool.

The Bar staff was great especially Angel, Manuel, and Patricia.

The little market is perfect for your immediate needs but if your stay is longer than a couple of days it's nice to venture out to WalMart

Our concierge Lloyd was great and always willing to help.

Just a side note....My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary and went to Peter's to celebrate. It was a little gem of a restaurant I found (thanks to tripadvisor) approximately 10 mins by cab from the hotel. It was perfect! Quaint with delicious food and Chef Peter came out to take our drink order.

This experience at The Royal Cancun was top notch. My entire family loved it! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation, where the only real decisions are "where shall we start at the pool or the beach and what should we drink and eat today?"

We tried to do Mexico in comfort, but on a reasonable budget and we struck gold with Royal Cancun. This hotel is excellent value. We had a 2 room villa over NYE which was a great price, something like 200 for 3 nights (booked 10 months previous).

We had a full kitchen which helped to make the overall stay cheaper AS LONG AS you shop in the supermarket in Cancun town, NOT in the on site supermarket which is extortionate.

Happy Hour is another bargain fest, lounge round the pool with half price beers from 4-6.

A free bus runs every 3 minutes up to coco Bongos and the other night spots if that's what you are after, you are also 10 mins on same bus from the main strip of Cancun's beach which is amazing! There is a smaller beach at the hotel that over looks Isla Mujeres, but this is nothing compared to the main beach.

The staff are friendly, the aircon is plentiful, the rooms are spotless, service a bit slow in the restaurant, but all in all i would stay again if in town. Perfect for families i think.
